Description
Though McCartneys new album comes half a century after his creative zenith, its echoes are still everywhere and one suspects they always will be. He doesn’t need to strive for contemporaneity in order to sound contemporary. It’s a point borne out by Egypt Station, which is at its best when it finds new ways for McCartney to be as McCartneyesque as possible. Opener “I Don’t Know” shows his extraordinary melodic facility is completely intact and then there’s more to enjoy from there.
